What's with the "by using our thoughts" we attract/create/change/move whatever we want, mantra?
if this would to be, people, all humans would have what they want(and don't tell me that other humans thinking the opposite will null your desire). I remember, in one my classes, the teacher gave, as an assignment, write an essay about whatever you want. Most of the works were rather good. Until, a woman picks up her essay and starts shouting out the "law of attraction" or some stuff like that. Basically, she went into a rosy little tirade on how thoughts attract what we want, we become what we want through our thoughts. Now the funny thing is, she's a party girl. Meaning, she's been trying to attract a husband now that she's 30 years old and that dreadful baby rabies has hit, but no one touches her: too much usage.
She's been thinking/sending thoughts into the Universe for years now and nothing, no husband, no guy interested in a relationship with her.
Of course, she ended the essay with "but the book/law of attraction says that even if we don't attract what we want/need, we should be thankful because we still have our health."
Right. To me it seems snake oil. "Buy this and believe in that but if doesn't work(it won't) don't worry; it's the experience that counts."
What gives? Does the *Universe* reserve the right to send what the person wants when the *Universe* deems fit? Or do you have to exhaust your emotions as thoughts to get what you want? or is it that, we only attract what we need, not what we want? Or is it that we're not in the necessary evolutionary stage - spirituality - to get what one needs? Or do we need a crystal?
Or is it because this "The Secret" and many other UFO's(metaphor)beliefs are there to sell?
Honestly, sometimes, when I read all of this "thoughts attract what we want" and related "subjects" I think of my uncle. He also believed and professed much of this new age, spirituality "concepts" and now he's in psychiatric ward for 10 years trying to treat his schizophrenia. Could there be a relation?
I'm not criticizing any of you. I just find it interesting.
An older woman I dated was also very much into this stuff and she ended up being diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
There's also a guy I know who won't keep his mouth shut with the "new world order" and that he can change water into oil with the power of his thoughts.
Bloody hell, where are we? Salem?
And yes, I'm a little angry. I'd like to have a conversation with a woman without her having to go intro astrology or tarot cards or ghosts or Angels. I mean, only the women who fall inside the age group of 40 -60 speak of anything interesting at all. Like History, art, music and so forth.
For Christ's sake
